1 Corinthians 13:1-2
1) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become as sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2) And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

We should really take time and study the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians as it exercise Gifts with Love. It is the love chapter. To really meditate upon it. And get to know it so, we can walk more in LOVE. Not with ourselves but of others. To walk daily in love, the world would change so, It would be as God would want it to become. There are a lot of Christians say to others that they walk in love but, they always put self first. They do not put God first, others, It is Self, God, others. They really need to learn putting God first, their lives would be so much better and to walk in love for others & self. People are afraid that people will take advantage of them. If you put God first, do you think that God will allow others to really take advantage of one of His children??

John 15:12-14
12) This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13) "Greater love has no one than this, that to lay down one's life for his friends.
14) You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.

John 13:35
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

If there is not love in your heart nobody will believe the Christian life is any different then what is in the world. NO DIFFERENT at ALL!
True love reaches & touches the heart more quickly then anything else. Nothing even comes close to it. The badge that Christ gave to His disciples. People will see the love of God through our eyes & into our heart.
Love also fulfills the Law!!

Romans 8:4-5
4) that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5) For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Which is LOVE!

Galatians 6 2
Bear one another burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Romans 15:1-3 & 5
1) We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2) Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.
3) For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached You fell on Me.
5) Now may the God of patience & comfort grand you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus.

James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you do well;

Loving your neighbor is all neighbors not just friends! Some are lovable others may not be so much. By the Holy Scriptures it is love everybody!!! To bear their weakness & to edification of our God. The Holy Spirit is your helper, your comforter.
What the church needs today is love. More love for God, more love for fellowmen. If we love God we would love our fellowman!!
I want the love of God burning in my heart & soul, that unquenchable flame. To be able to reach mankind & win them to Christ!! That I do not fine fault with others! Most of the time we find fault with others only to build ourselves up. And here we are not doing anything ourselves. We are trying to take the blame off of upon the Glory of Jesus our LORD & act as Jesus did. Jesus did not find fault in people. When their was sin He would try to correct the person because He loved us. And did not want us to live in Sin & Death.
Walking in the Agapy Love of our God; & our deeds will speak of God.

Agapy - agapao (Greek wording)
divine, unconditional love. the love that consumes, highest level & purest form of love a selfless love.

Walking in the Agapy Love our deeds will speak in a very larger way of whom God is!

Romans 5:1,5, & 8
1) Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5) Now hope does not disappoint because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
8) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.

Finding peace through the knowledge of our sins being forgiven; It is just like a mountain that it cannot be moved.
